A CNN panel states the obvious:https://www.rawstory.com/2019/03/trumps-attack-on-john-mccain-completely-emasculated-lindsey-graham-who-knows-he-cant-fight-back-cnn/
Powers made the remark during a discussion of Trumps refusal to back down on anything, which plays well to his base.
The John McCain thing is a perfect example of that, chimed in host John Berman. He wont back down against John McCain, who passed away in August. The president is maintaining this John McCain thing months after the death of a senator.
Obviously what he said was despicable, its so disrespectful to his family, Powers said. I think that part of the reason he does it is obviously he has all his issues with McCain, but its also a chance for him to assert his dominance over the Republican Party.
Its completely emasculating of Lindsey Graham, who this is his best friend and who knows he cant really do anything, Powers continued. If he responds to this hes going to probably, well, suffer the wrath of Trump and have his followers turn against him. So its a kind of alpha male move to really say like theres nothing you can do about this. Im going to say the worst possible thing and theres nothing you can do.'

(23,065 posts)He's stupid, he's incurious, he thinks he's omnipotent, he's full of hate for everyone that doesn't bribe him and fluff his ego constantly, he's racist, he punches down, he has no morals or caring about anyone except himself, he's a traitor and a lifelong criminal theft and fraud. He is maybe the only person in the world without even one redeeming quality - not even one. Even GW, who is totally awful and stupid himself, cared about his wife and children. Drumpfs relatives are just appendages to him to be used for his own gain or desire, he cares nothing for them as people because that's just not in him.

For instance, stand up and be a man. Right now I see him as a man with no guts at all.
He hung onto John McCain but then revealed what a sniiveling little coward he was inviting ivanka and Jared to the funeral after John made it clear no Trump was welcome at his funera.
He is lower than a snakes belly.

(32,596 posts)I doubt very much that Lindsey Graham is Chump's best friend, he's being blackmailed and he has to keep quiet. Chump has some kind of kompromat on Graham - we can only guess what it is. But we do know that the Russians hacked the RNC emails and stole their secrets, and now they're using them against the GOP Senators. This is how Chump plays everyone, I've got something on you and now you'll dance to my tune.
